torque steer....?
Sunday, August 12, 2007 11:34 AM
Recently I hear a clunk when accelerting from roll or hard braking. It sounds like its from the steering/cv joint area. Also when around 3-4 rpm and smash the gas it pulls to the right then when I shift or let of it.. it pulls back. WTF. dangerous. Need help. Im thinking the cv joints going bad? Also its a 96' z isuzu /

do you feel it at all when steering going slow..like in a parking lot? the intermediate shafts are notorious for binding and needing lubricated..its a very easy fix it that is the case...if you look under your dash on the driver side youll see the shaft that connects to the steering wheel..it will have ONE bolt holding it on..youll have to turn the wheel in the right direction to get to it just right..simply remove that bolt and slide the shaft down toward the fire wall...then proceed to pull it out then push it back in .....continue doing this about 10-20 times..extending and compressing the shaft as much as possible..this spreads the grease around inside the shaft..then put it back in and re-insert the bolt..this should fix the problem...NOTE..before you remove that bold put your seat belt thru the steering wheel and buckle it..this way your steering wheel doesnt turn on its own and things get assembled wrong AKA your steering wheel be upside down when your done
